NBA ALL-STAR PLAYERS WHO NEVER STARTED AN ALL-STAR GAME

All these players never had been NBA All-Star Game starters, despite they have played on multiple All-Star Games (at least 2).

There are players with only one NBA All-Star Game participation playing from the bench not listed here.

Dirk Nowitzki could have been an undisputed Top 1 in this list if it wasn’t for other players injuries. He is a Top 10 in NBA All-Star Game appearances (13 editions) but has never been selected as a starter by fans. Coaches picked him in 2007 and 2010 to substitute an injured starter.
